If you figure a 6.5" tire at 6th scale is about 39" then you could do a variety
of scale bodies based on wheelbase you like.

13.5" Willys (~80")
14" CJ5 (~84")
15.5" CJ7, Wrangler (~94")
~17" XJ, Toy standard bed, Jeepster (~101-105")

Not sure on the short and long wheelbase Zuks.......

If one wheel base could be chosen which one would work best with most applications?

Well my Toy is at 106" WB so with running a 7" tire my 17 1/4" WB may just be right on

technically, since both of those are a TOYOTA, you add those together and they are winning

Default choice decided.

I spoke with the body maker and he has noted that the 80's toyota truck would be easiest to pull since he has a mold that is close. I should have a pic up hopefully next week of the pulled and formed body. From what I can tell the Toyota is a popular option. I hope all of the flat fender guys are not to disappointed.

If you or someone you know can produce a flat fender mold, the body maker said he would be more than happy to pull it to form.

Thanks Guys! I will keep you updated.

Excellent choice! What will the wheelbase be? What year 80's Toyota? 1st gen 79-83 or 2nd gen 84-88?
